Shadowhunters *WTS*

Chapter Eighteen

As I helped take care of the warlocks, I got a call from Raphael.

"Hello, mijo." I told him

"Hi, mamma." He said but I could hear the struggle

"What's wrong, mijo?" I asked him

"I did something bad. Isabelle... I've been feeding from her." he told me

"What! Raphael. Tell me you have stopped." I told him

"I have, but there is something else." He told me

"What is it?" I asked

"One of my vamps told me that Valentine has taken over the Institute." He told me.

"What?" All the Shadowhunters and yelled.

"Is Alec okay? What is he planning?" I asked him

"From what I heard, Alec is inside. I don't know what Valentine is planning. I was hoping you would know." He told me

I stayed quiet, thinking of a reason before I gasped in realization.

"He plans on using the angelic power from the Institute's core to activate the Soul Sword." I said

I heard as he growled.

"What! No! I will stop him." He said before hanging up.

I opened a portal, appearing in front of the Institute. I look around me seeing Jace holding a sword at Raphael. 

"My boy!" I cried out in worry.

Before, I thought of anything, I lightly threw Jace away from Raphael, standing in between them.

"What do you think you are doing!?" I yelled at him

"He was trying to kill Clary." Jace told me

"If it means us downworlders will be alive, then so be it." I said as I grabbed Raphael's hand pushing him more behind me as we walked slowly away.

"Clary may be able to activate the sword, but I can destroy it. The angel Ithuriel confirmed that in a vision." Jace told us

"I can?" Jace asked himself.

"Angel? Impossible." Raphael said

"I saw it too. He's telling the truth." Clary confirmed

"You kill Clary, Valentine still has the damn sword. Over time, no doubt, he'll find a way to activate it. Now is our chance to destroy that sword for good. Why not let Jace try?" Luke said

I walked away from Raphael, towards Magnus, knowing he is safe. I grabbed Magnus hand, allowing the warmth and comfort flow through me.

"Why would a Shadowhunter risk his life for us?" Maia asked

"Because you and Raphael are gonna tell your Downworld buddies not to lay a hand on Clary. That's the deal." Jace told them

"And they'll listen to me?" Raphael asked

"Maybe. You're the leader of the most powerful vampire clan in all of New York. They respect you." Jace told him

"Yes they do." I told him, knowing the vampires have always respected him.

I watched as Raphael thought about it, turning his head towards me. I just nodded my head.

"What exactly is your plan?" Raphael asked

Soon, we were told it. Magnus and I started gathering warlocks. We bought enough to stop Valentine. I had gathered the warlocks in my lair, who willingly came. I had over thirty warlocks with me.
